Fu Biao's name, I don't know how many people still remember it?
That chubby guy, acting like what actor.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, he had been gone for 16 years.
In the past sixteen years, Fu Biao's old friends have changed a lot.
Ge You took the film emperor, Feng Xiaogang became one of the top pillars of the old generation of directors, and Ding Zhicheng also made achievements in the drama industry and won the Golden Lion Award.
Even Fu Biao's son grew up to become a director and won the Newcomer Director Award.
Everything is changing, and the only constant is his wife, Zhang Qiufang, who is still waiting for Fu Biao.
Zhang Qiufang and Fu Biao met in the Railway Literary troupe.
In 1982, after Fu Biao graduated from the Social Film University majoring in acting, he was assigned to the Railway Literary troupe.
At that time, China had not yet reformed and opened up, and jobs and housing were arranged by the state, which is unimaginable to young people today.
When he first arrived in the troupe, he needed to attend a drama class, where Fu Biao met Zhang Qingfang.
The two were originally just classmates who couldn't say a few words.
Because of a drama of "Camel Shoko", the two got married.
Zhang Qiufang played Tiger Girl in the play, and although Fu Biao did not play Xiangzi, he noticed Zhang Qiufang because of this.
Gradually, the two young people came into contact intentionally or unintentionally in their work and life, and the two finally married after four years of falling in love.
When she first started a family, Zhang Qiufang's career was stronger than Fu Biao's.
At that time, Zhang Qiufang was picking big beams in the regiment, and Fu Biao played some dragon set roles, and occasionally there were one or two small roles, which could not show his talent.
Despite this, Zhang Qiufang was full of confidence in Fu Biao, feeling that Fu Biao was a piece of real gold, and as long as he had the opportunity, he would eventually shine.
In that collective social situation, the salary of the drama troupe is very limited, and for Fu Biao, this job is a bit of a chicken rib: earn money, you can't earn much, if you want to say love, you can't play a good role.
In the early 1990s, when the reform and opening up, many state-owned enterprise personnel threw away the iron rice bowl, started self-employed households, and started business, commonly known as "going to the sea".
Fu Biao also followed this wave and planned to do some business, borrowing 300,000 yuan from the east and the west, but he was deceived by the "good friend" who saw the wealth.
In that era when the monthly salary was only two or three hundred yuan, three hundred thousand, equivalent to the current three million and more, a huge amount of money!
Even so, Zhang Qiufang did not complain too much about Fu Biao, she silently worked with her husband, saving money and supporting the family.
In order to get rid of the economic embarrassment as soon as possible, Fu Biao went to the advertising company to work as a salesman.
Doing sales, the money is earned, but there is a lot of socializing, drinking almost every day, involuntarily, Fu Biao, who was not thin in the first place, gradually became a big fat man with the naked eye.
Looking back now, this life of drinking every day has somewhat affected the body and laid hidden dangers for future illnesses.
After all, such a life was not what Fu Biao wanted, let alone what Zhang Qiufang wanted.
Whether it is doing business or running sales, Fu Biao only thinks that this is a means of making a living, and what he loves has never changed, that is, acting.
Many times, after getting drunk, he said in his mouth, "When will I be able to shoot a good scene..."
Finally, in 1994, Zhang Yimou prepared to start filming "Shake Ah Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge", the male protagonist is the old artist Li Baotian, and the female protagonist is the first generation of female protagonist Gong Li.
Fu Biao starred in this play as the "old third" whose role is second only to male one.
I have had the privilege of watching this play, "Old Third" is a relatively complex character, Fu Biao is very well acted, there is a little bit of the taste of the famous Hong Kong movie "Gunfire", which is very worth savoring.
It was this play that gave Fu Biao the idea of continuing his studies in acting, so he went to the "Zhang Yimou School" to continue to study acting.
It is said that behind a successful man, there must be a woman who silently pays for him.
Li An is like this, Xu Ke is like this, and so is Fu Biao.
After Fu Biao's acting career improved, Zhang Qiufang slowly put the focus of her life on her family.
In addition to taking care of her son and in-laws, Zhang Qiufang also regularly entertained Fu Biao's "fox friends and dogs".
Fu Biao was known for his hospitality in the circle, and Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Liu Zhenyun, Zhang Guoguo, Xu Zheng, etc. were all regular guests.
When Fu Biao first got married, the house was small, and often guests came to a group, and the house could not sit down, so everyone stood in the courtyard with bowls to eat.
At a time, there are as few as four or five people who eat and drink, and more than ten or twenty people.
Fu Biao's cooking skills are good, although he is in charge, but from buying vegetables, to laying hands, and then entertaining guests to collect the mess, Zhang Qiufang is alone.
To say that it is not tired is false, but seeing that everyone is so happy and seeing her husband's happy face, Zhang Qiufang feels very satisfied.
What else is there to say? Life is originally a process.
The love of Fu Biao and Zhang Qiufang is not only a topic of ridicule and envy by friends, but also a model of social virtue.
In 1999, the two of them were named one of the "100 Loving Couples in Beijing", and for a time the good story was popular in the circle.
Later, Fu Biao, Ge You, Xu Fan, etc. participated in Feng Xiaogang's "Party A and Party B", and joined Feng Jiaban, acting in a series of popular New Year films.
Fu Biao's acting career ushered in the first climax.
In 1999, he was nominated for best supporting actor at the Golden Rooster Awards for Chinese Film for "Endless".
In 2001, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor again for "The Story of Escort".
In 2002, he won the Best Actor Award at the 9th Beijing University Student Film Festival for "The Story of Escort".
Career and fame followed by wealth.
With this money, Fu Biao and Zhang Qiufang bought a villa with a mortgage in Xiaotangshan, Changping, Beijing, and finally lived in a big house with their parents and son.
Just when Zhang Qiufang was feeling bitter and willing to imagine the future, misfortune fell on the couple.
In 2004, Fu Biao was diagnosed with liver cancer.
At the beginning of the diagnosis, Zhang Qiufang and the doctor agreed not to tell Fu Biao, and she was worried that he would not be able to accept it.
In fact, the person who knows his body best must be the person himself, in the process of repeated examinations and seeking medical treatment, Fu Biao has already guessed eight or nine points, but looking at Zhang Qiufang's efforts to conceal him, he can't bear to tear it down.
Therefore, the husband and wife acted in real life, both pretending to be happy for each other and finding happiness.
If you have a wife like this, why should your husband ask for it?
If a husband is like this, why should the husband ask for it?
Finally, to do a liver transplant, Zhang Qiufang confessed his condition to Fu Biao.
After two liver transplants, Fu Biao died in August 2005 at the age of 42.
At this time, Zhang Qiufang was only 39 years old, a woman's last youth.
Fu Biao is gone, leaving behind an elderly pair of parents, an adolescent son, a pile of debt, and a group of friends.
In order to treat Fu Biao's illness, Zhang Qiufang has given everything she has, and even the original cost of sending her son to high school in Britain has been used up, and she has more than 2 million yuan in debt.
Debts must be repaid, house loans must be repaid, parents must be raised, sons must be raised.
Zhang Qiufang originally planned to sell the villa, but think of the second old, and when she is old, she will follow her, and she can't bear it.
After Fu Biao's funeral was completed, Zhang Qiufang sorted out her thoughts and quickly cleaned up her financial situation.
Gift money, the help of friends, there are always almost 1.2 million, so she still owes 800,000.
My son was immediately faced with a high school entrance examination.
At the beginning, Fu Biao planned to let his son go to high school in the United Kingdom, so the child's junior high school was connected to the British high school, and he did not plan to participate in the Chinese middle school entrance examination.
The child was very sensible and told his mother that he was not going to study in England, just in Beijing.
But for the sake of her son's future, Zhang Qiufang decided to let her son go to England as planned.
Fu Biao's former friend Ge You proposed that he should bear the cost of the child's education.
However, Zhang Qiufang refused Ge You's kindness and applied for a student loan of 600,000 yuan for her son with the help of Ge You.
Sending her son to Britain, Zhang Qiufang single-mindedly pounced on making money.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Guoli and Fu Biao and Zhang Qiufang had always been friends, and after Fu Biao's death, they often visited Zhang Qiufang and Fu Biao's parents.
By chance, Deng Jie learned that a well-known foreign shoe brand wanted to find an agent in China, but the start-up capital needed 300,000 yuan.
Deng Jie felt that this was a good opportunity, so he introduced it to Zhang Qiufang and also lent her 300,000 yuan.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, and Zhang Qiufang did not live up to the sincerity of her old friends.
Soon, Zhang Qiufang took care of the shoe business and opened several stores in a row.
On the other hand, Zhang Qiufang did not abandon her old business.
With the right script and the right role, she will still act.
For example, the role of the wife of the male protagonist in "Breathless" is ge you recommended her to go, in order to play a good role, Zhang Qiufang gained nearly ten pounds, and she is also very dedicated.
In addition to acting, Zhang Qiufang has learned to invest.
Together with Fu Biao's former friends, she invested in a film and television company and shot movies.
Many friends have heard that the film was invested by Zhang Qiufang and are willing to join with zero remuneration.
But Zhang Qiufang still pays everyone one by one according to the market price, she said, people help you once, can not help you every time, have that heart is enough.
This is Zhang Qiufang, like a red plum in the ice and snow, with dignity and ambition.
Zhang Qiufang, who also has such a personality charm, is still surrounded by this group of old friends more than ten years after Fu Biao's death.
In 2006, Zhang Qiufang completed the book --- "Imprint" written by Fu Biao before his death, and distributed it through the Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House.
Inside the book are some short essays written by Fu Biao during the period when he was battling the disease.
There is a sense of life, there is a deep affection for his wife, there is a concern for his son and parents...
There are also some relatives and friends who miss Fu Biao.
At the end of the book, Zhang Qiufang wrote: Life is just a memory, and there are few people as rich as me.
In just one sentence, I saw her contentment and no regrets, which made people moved.
There are such loved ones and emotions that have existed in this world, shining brightly.
Time flies quickly, Zhang Qiufang's debts have long been paid off, and her son has grown up.
Fu Zien, who grew up, was a bit like his father's style.
The son originally wanted to inherit his father's business and become an actor.
He also once made a cameo role in "Breathless", but he actually played a good role.
However, Zhang Qiufang feels that the current film and television industry environment is very different from that year, especially actors, who are king of traffic and have a deformed idol culture.
So she and her old friends analyzed the situation for her son and suggested that he become a director.
In 2010, Fu Zien was successfully admitted to the Beijing Film Academy majoring in directing.
Under the guidance of Ge You, Feng Xiaogang and other professionals, Fu Zien has many opportunities for internship and has made rapid progress.
In 2016, he independently directed the online film "Stop! Don't Run"
Fu Zien won the Best Director Award at the 2nd China International Youth Film Festival for this film.
Although the film rating is average, Virgo as a young director still has its merits.
If Fu Biao could see it, he would probably be proud of his son.
Zhang Qiufang once said when receiving an interview with Ai:
Biaozi has gone away in these years of my life, in fact, Biaozi has long been arranged, if there is no help from these friends, I alone, can not survive today.
She was right, it was her friends who helped her.
But if she wasn't a self-reliant person, those friends wouldn't have been there.
It is said that the drama is unrighteous, and Zhang Qiufang uses her life to tell us what love is and what is righteousness.
After 16 years of Fu Biao's departure, Zhang Qiufang became a 55-year-old entrepreneur and strong woman.
She has money, friends, sons, but no partner.
Her love, as early as 16 years ago, with the man to the bone ashes,
Today, she has her own faith alive.
